He also said that he had asked the PMO to verify that his expenses were valid, and that he has proof (emails from them) that they said that his expense applications were in comliance with the rules.

I immediately contacted Nigel Wright, the Prime Minister's chief of staff, and explained that I was doing nothing improper. Nigel Wright emailed me back, saying he'd had my expenses checked and he was satisfied that my accounts were in order, that all was in compliance with Senate rules.

So, Duffy's expenses came into doubt (because of the residency discrepency) and he checked with the PMO, who verified that the expenses were "in order". It is later determined that Duffy is not considered a resident of PEI (this last part is a supposition as I don't know if that determination was ever "officially" made). This makes him a liar?
